During times of political turmoil over the past 150 years, literati from Mainland China took refuge in Hong Kong. They would form various shi- and ci-poetry societies to carry on the Chinese poetic tradition. It is a pity that the poetry of most of these societies has not been published before. In order to uncover a hidden splendor, this volume, a sequel to the previous compilation, An Annotated Bibliography of the Classical Writings of Hong Kong Poets which focused on individual poets’ works, introduces almost 150 shi- and ci-poetry societies active in Hong Kong from the late Qing Dynasty up to 1997 with the annotation of 49 anthologies compiled by 36 poetry societies. Annotation includes basic bibliographic information and literary commentaries that help to understand the formation, periods of activity, membership, events and the collected poetry of these societies. Together, these two bibliographies, pioneer compilations on a topic never previously covered, offer invaluable information on the understanding of the development of classical Chinese literature in Hong Kong, and form a very worthwhile and unique addition to the research tools in Hong Kong literature.
過去一百五十年，國內文士每於政治動蕩播遷流徙，雲集香港，延續中國詩歌傳統，大小詩社、詞社相繼崛起，部分社課曾經結集流播，惟大部分均未經爬梳整理，後人只能從個別詩人文集或報刊所載領略鱗爪，誠屬可惜。為搜潛揚逸，本書《香港古典詩文集經眼錄續編》(簡稱《經眼錄續編》)乃繼著錄詩人個人文集之《香港古典詩文集經眼錄》(簡稱《經眼錄》)，介紹晚清以來至1997年香港約150家詩社、詞社，著錄其中36家所輯詩社集、詞社集49種，羅列其基本出版資料及學者論評，介紹詩社、詞社創立緣起、活躍時間、社員背景及社課，讓讀者瞭解過去詩人結社大概，填補香港古典詩文研究空白。《經眼錄》及《經眼錄續編》乃香港古典詩文文獻首次系統整理，對瞭解中國古典文學在香港之發展裨益匪淺，並為研究香港文學締創新猷，極具參考價值。
